Author's Note: I hate using so many of these weird - 0 - things as spacing but is the website is being a butthead and whenever I try to change the spacing it just gets rid of them in the editer! :( Anyways, I hope you liked it, it was my first Downton Abbey piece (I do love Branson/Sibyl!) and I can't wait to do more...also, I felt that our little Branson/Sibyl community needed some more stories!

The author would like to thank you for your continued support. Your review has been posted.
